What driveway extensions and widening involves
A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.
Any quote we prepare in St Andrews says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around St Andrews, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in St Andrews include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in St Andrews
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as roads authority before any kerb work.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Fife, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
